Im new to this website and im in desparate need of help.
I had neighbours that decided to move interstate and needed a "snake sitter"
THAT WAS 6 YEARS AGO!
I got myself a licence and continued to care for him and have done pretty good I think!
Phillip is a childrens python, he has never bitten. BUT I am so so so nervous handling him. over the years he has gone up to 12 months without being handled. (I know I feel terrible about it.)
Recently he escaped and I was so upset, I...

I was hoping one of you experts would be able to help me identifying a snakeskin that we found at our house's atrium.

We've been told it might be a brown snake, but we have a lot of pythons around and it's a very long skin (132cm).
Fortunately, the skin of the head is still attached, so that might make it a bit easier.
I am from Europe and never had to deal with this issue, so I am very inexperienced in identifying snake skins haha. It would be great to know what it is, as I go to...

Kinda oldish newbie here. I haven't kept reptiles for the past 10 years but am looking to get back into it My 10 year old is keen to get a python and I'm rapt because it means I get to help her look after it

I've kept Coastal & Cape York carpets in the past and loved them because they were just beautiful, gentle, inquisitive, placid, calming, stunning creatures <3

She's a little nervous on the size carpets get to though, so we are looking at some other options too, so I'm...

I have had my children’s python for about 4 years. I live in the United States and few people seem to keep them here. He lunges at me all the time and I have to use a hook to get him out to clean his cage. He is in a 25 gallon tank, his warm side is 90-92, his cold is 75-80. He gets one large mouse a week. Is there a way to make him less aggressive?]]>8Show us Your Ants!

1. Never buy a snake on impulse! Read up about them and make sure you know whats involved before you get it or them.
2. Dont be tight when it comes to the caging and equipment needed to look after them properly.
3. People underestimate how important it is to read. Too many newbies believe everything they read on a forum. Do yourself a favour and spend a $100 on a good book, even before you buy...

hello! we’ve recently adopted an albino carpet that was going to be orphaned. she is a little over a year old.

when we got her she was still on fuzzies which seemed too small for her size so we gave her a weaner rat which seemed to satisfy her !

a couple things:
1. feeling conflicted about lighting - precious owner has a Reptile One fluorescent UV light above the tank. should we replace it with something else?
2. we think she’s...

There's a long story to this but basically someone I live with has a diamond python, it was given to him by someone who also didn't have a licence, ever. The problem is I have a child and this person hasn't looked after the snake well at all, as in it's now very aggressive. No one can get near it and I don't want the thing in my house anymore, especially since it's illegal. I'm planning on reporting it, my only concern is, will I cop it too? Technically my name is on the lease...

Any pics I’ve seen tell me this is a female ‘plug’.

Had a crap straight after...didn’t even get the old skin off the tail. Dropped one open the water bowl and three in the pot plant...none on the substrate ]]>2New owner - Children's pythonMon, 22 Apr 2019 03:50:36 +0000https://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/threads/new-owner-childrens-python.223928/

as the title suggests i'm new to owning a pet snake and so far I'm loving it. About 2 weeks ago I bought myself a T+ albino children's python and she must be around 4ish months old, as the first time she was fed was around the start of october (from what i've been told by the pet store I got her from). She's extremely placid and has not even attempted to strike or bite anyone. I was just wondering, however, how much I CAN be handling and feeding her. She seems to respond really...
